Luxury Lodge Holiday Home Ownership

The hottest summer on record this year has certainly helped to boost the popularity of the staycation but have you ever considered owning your own holiday home in your favourite staycation location?

Let’s get it out there…. returning to the same place every holiday might fill some people with dread and if you are that mind set, then it’s probably not for you. However, there’s a lot to be said for owning your own holiday home. You don’t have to spend hours researching where to go or have the worry and fear of paying for the unknown!

Owning a holiday home is incredibly appealing and a lifestyle choice more and more people are taking. What’s not to love?

- It's easy to be spontaneous and head off if the weekend weather forecast is good. - You arrive up to an impeccably maintained home and garden - There is something welcoming about familiarity and a sense of belonging - It’s somewhere to create memories with you whole family– a ‘generational investment’

Habits are changing. The fortnight holiday, once a staple of British life, is fading into history. Research by British Airways found that 69 per cent of Brits did not take a two-week holiday last year, and the Office for National Statistics confirms the trend. While those aged 65 and over – are the most likely to escape for more than seven days, younger people aged 18-24 are the least likely. The growth of budget airlines and cheap flights is one reason: there has been a surge in three-night trips, especially among those aged 35-44. But this is only part of the story.

BA also found more than a third of those polled felt a fortnight off would be ‘frowned upon’ or ‘discouraged’ in their workplace. Planning a long holiday can be a headache – trying to juggle annual leave, social and family commitments. Short breaks often mean you don’t need to do this, you can simply pack your bags and go.

Having a break from the pressures of daily life and your regular environment gives you separation and space to feel more refreshed on the return – whether you work or not. There’s a definite shift towards taking lots of shorter breaks throughout the year.

If you are tempted by the benefits of owning your own holiday home, it’s not just the accommodation you need to think about – it’s about investing in a lifestyle and location.
